Yujean Han, DO

Yujean Han, DO, completed her residency in Psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa and a fellowship in Sleep Medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. She was inspired to choose medicine because she's always enjoyed working and helping people. She's interested in peoples' personal stories and what they can do together to improve their health. She chose Sleep Medicine because she loves sleep, and thinks everyone deserves good sleep quality.

New to Yakima, she thinks the community and the people are so friendly and it reminds her of where she's from, Oklahoma. In her free time she enjoys traveling, cooking and party planning. Dr. Han is also fluent in Korean.

Joseph Jung, DO

Joseph Jung, DO, completed his residency at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington and a fellowship in Sleep Medicine at Larkin Hospital/Miami Children's Hospital/Miami Sleep Disorder Center in Miami, Florida.
